C. Petrou

The appellant appealed the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' decision to suspend his driver's licence on medical grounds following a hospital admission for a heart condition.

The Registrar argued the appellant's implantable cardioverter defibrillator shock warranted a six-month suspension under medical standards.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found no evidence of sustained ventricular tachycardia or an impaired level of consciousness that would require a suspension.

The Tribunal concluded the appellant's medical condition was not likely to significantly interfere with his ability to drive safely and set aside the licence suspension.
